— AZEALIA ⚓️ BANKS (@AZEALIABANKS) July 10, 2014Azealia Banks a.k.a. Yung Rapunxel is a free woman after being released from her Universal Records contract. The 23-year old rapper celebrated the news with her 379,000 Twitter followers.

— AZEALIA ⚓️ BANKS (@AZEALIABANKS) July 10, 2014Free at last.
— AZEALIA ⚓️ BANKS (@AZEALIABANKS) July 10, 2014She has been trying to get off the label since January when she went public with her frustration.
“I’m literally begging to be dropped from Universal,” she tweeted. “Universal needs to just hand me over to another label who knows what to do with me. I’m tired of having to consult a group of old white guys about my black girl craft. they don’t even know what they’re listening for or to. Can someone at Sony buy me off of Universal please?? i’m really in hell here.”
Banks has been a fixture on blogs mainly because of her feuds on Twitter with everyone from T.I. to Jim Jones, but she is very talented and isn't afraid to take risks musically. Songs like "212" and "ATM Jam" prove Banks can deliver the goods.
It will be interesting to see what her next move is now that she's independent.
